HOTEL DE VILLE

Springtime in the Northern hemisphere! Quite a treat, when the sun is coming down on Hôtel de Ville in Paris. I have traded it in for some time to soak up the Autumn air in Southern hemisphere, which leads me to a little anecdote from my day today in lovely Melbourne, Australia.

Today I made friends with the staff of the emergency department of St Vincent's hospital. This silly quack caught the flu, and after a bit of unconsciousness and head bumping, I found myself in an ambulance with a neck brace (this would stay on me for the next 6 hours to come), having lights flashed in my eyes and trying to recall which day of the week it was - now, suffering from jet-lag brain, you can imagine how this would take a bit of calculating to get right! Neck-braces and nausea aside, I did somehow feel as if I was the living protagonist of a modern Cinderella story. You see, the super awesome ambulance drivers, Darryl and Cas, drove off with my beloved &otherstories flats after making sure I was in good care at the hospital.. So after a long day at St. Vincent, I found myself standing barefoot outside the emergency in my stripy PJ's, which makes me feel this trip might just be one of those trips full of firsts. Like when I yesterday found myself desperately uploading an instagram from a laundromat with free wi-fi and no washing, or even better: when I woke up today with a cockroach the size of my thumb next to my head. Are we seeing a pattern here?Anyways, a load of gratitude to Darryl and Cas and the team at St. Vincent - my shoes are a small sacrifice for the massive amount of help, kindness and calm they brought to the situation - although I reckon these amazing people will probably never read this, I will let it go out to everyone who makes that effort to take care of us, when we are unable to do it ourselves: thank you so much!Text heavy post, wooh! Who knew I had it in me?LOTS OF LOVE FROM OZ, HOPE EVERYONE IS HAPPY AND WELLXSARAH MIKAELAinstagram| facebook | twitter

This style is still great as usual, girl. I love the way you combine the items, especially the floral shirt and moto jacket. You look not only feminine, beautiful but also very active. I learnt a new style for myself. Thanks in advance.
